What a difference a few days can make!

There are some big changes happening with the puppies!  Their eyes and ears are starting to open.  It is a procedure that takes a few days so the pups can adjust to all the sights and sounds of their new world.  Things are really going to start happening fast now.  Their wobbly  legs are getting stronger and they are doing their best to explore their environment.  Soon it will be time to start adding small toys and gentle noise makers. 

Indy is doing well.  She's such a good Mom.  She doesn't mind Diesel coming in for a visit now but still and definite NO-NO with the other females.  If this was a wild pack situation, she would be in her den and would protect it fiercely if someone arrived at the mouth of the tunnel.  As far as Indy is concerned, this room is her den and until the pups are more agile, nobody comes in! (Except Diesel)

Several people have inquired about coming to visit the litter.  For the protection of the pups, no one can come until they are three weeks old.  Even then, we must be very careful about not bringing in any diseases.  A whole litter can die if exposed before they have had a chance to build up their immune systems. 

No point wasting time!  Feeding and eating all in one!

Look how big they are now!  They weigh approximately 3 pounds each.  Mr. Green is still the "moose".  I actually heard one of them barking this morning! 

Well that's all for now. 

OH!  And thank you to all who sent birthday wishes yesterday.  It helped make the day even more wonderful!
